Met Chuck Norris years ago. Nicest guy ever. Met Muhammad Ali at a cocktail party and discussed how he really felt about Howard Cosell, and laughed about his answer. Got a hug from Miss Universe, though she was just Miss USA at the moment. Her crown slid over and hit me in the head. Dang thing was heavy. Most fun meet was with an old NFL guy, Charlie Johnson, who had once QB’d the St Louis Cardinals. I got to ask him who the best Middle Linebackers, Safeties, and Cornerbacks he had to play against. Johnson was a Chemical Engineer, like me, so we geeked out a bit. Met Tom Landry and his wife many years ago. She was drop dead beautiful and he was way bigger than he looked on TV. Huge hands.
Met Bum Phillips at a cocktail party. He was really nice. Can’t think of any others except politicians and TV actors of only minor note.
